Re: The "Making of" Gallery - Giovanni Celeste

Thank you All!!Glad and proud you like it. As I wrote i make this whip for him becouse he'll try to attempt a new whip record with a 6ft whip. He ask me a whip with more leverage.This is what he wrote to me :I need a 6-foot bullwhip, light and tight, at least 12-plait. Everything else about it is up to you. It needs to spring back into position to crack again very quickly. I want to be able to do a series of Circus Cracks fast. This means I do not want to have to wait for the whip to reset between cracks. Is this understandable?

For this reason I developed a double core as inner core. In other words over the handle there are two leather core and than the standard construction with belly, bolster etc..

Hello my FriendsThis are the first pics of a new model that i developed.It's call LONG CROP WHIPThe idea behind it was to make a whip starting from the shape of a riding crop and make a whip that reminiscent a riding crop with a continuous taper right from the handleFor the same reason this time I've chosen only the harringbone patternAccording to my opinion the continuous pattern definitely adds simple yet beautiful aesthetics. It should allow the flexibility of the handle.I hope you like itThanks in advanceGio

Hello my friends, thanks so much for your kind and lovely words.I'm so really glad you like it.Re. The ferrule down on the heel knot doesn't disturb the handling of the whip.It's always an option and if you want you can always remove it simply cutting or untying the little gaucho knot.Thanks againGio

Hello All,Thanks again for your compliments... Re material for the handle I use the Teflon 8mm diameter. The teflon is the same material used by Swaine Adeney Briggs for their modern riding crop.You can flex it whatever you want and it doesn't break!
